He's been far from what I (or most others) expected, but bringing up only the 2 goals and nothing else is ridiculous.

I recall watching some Drouin videos during the run-up to that draft, and while there was undeniable skill there, I remember thinking to myself that all the moves he was making (i.e., dancing through 4 terrible pylons, having way too much time and space while doing all his fancy pants moves) would be a lot harder to translate in the NHL once you faced better Dmen.
One could probably say the same thing about Gaudreau of course...but it seems like Drouin has had a bit tougher of a time translating his game. While I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually and go on to become a star, these are also the types of guys who tend to be a little more hit or miss.
